Key Points

• The research aims to evaluate pre-operative antibiotic prophylaxis during emergency cesarean sections and identify improvement opportunities.
• Assessed the timing of antibiotic administration before surgery
• Evaluated the type of skin preparation used prior to cesarean delivery
• Analyzed follow-up processes after discharge
• Found significant non-compliance with SCIP guidelines related to emergency cesarean sections
• Noted that higher ASA class was linked to non-compliance
• Observed low post-operative SSI rates, though potential bias due to loss-to-follow-up exists
